1st Putrajaya International Dragon Boat Festival @ Precinct 6, Putrajaya
Jun 6th
Hey guys if you don’t know, there’s a dragon boat festival going on at Putrajaya now. The event started yesterday (5th June) and it will end tomorrow (7th June) so if you are interested you still have plenty of time to be there. Putrajaya’s first ever International Dragon Boat Festival is held at the man-made lake at Putrajaya’s Water Sports Complex, Precinct 6.
I just went and have a look so here are som photos of the event. Do take note that Precinct 6 is no where near the Government complex or Alamanda shopping center, it’s near PICC where the Fireworks competition was held. Take the road leading to Dengkil or PICC and you will see road signs to Precinct 6.
I don’t have a tele lens so this is pretty much the most zoom I could get. Only the participants, staff and media are allowed into the boat racing area. Sigh, how I wish I could get a close up shot of the boats…
The Water Sport Complex’s stadium, it gives you a full, unblocked frontal view of the event.
The viewing platform, I assume. Off limits to visitors though. Click here to continue reading >
Kee Kee Bentong Chicken Rice @ Yat Yeh Hing, Kelana Jaya
Jun 4th
One of the famous lunch places in Kelana Jaya area is Kee Kee Bentong Chicken Rice. I travel up and down LDP very often but never noticed its existance until my friends told me about it. I don’t know about you, but I would have never expected a normal looking seafood restaurant like Yat Yeh Hing to house a good Chicken Rice stall.
We reached around 12.15 pm and apparently it was the busiest time – it was almost full house. There’s even a queue to get the soup lol. From the other blogs, it is said a quarter of a chicken’s portion is the minimum order. But since there were four of us, this wouldn’t be a problem. So we ordered a combination of steamed and roast chicken. Click here to continue reading >
Mother’s Day Celebration Promotion @ Italiannies 1 Utama
Jun 1st
Few weeks ago we celebrated Mother’s Day at Italiannies 1 Utama. The Mother’s Day promotion entitled every mother’s main course to a discount, with the percentage set according to her age. This simply means that if the mother’s age is 40, she would receive 40% discount on her main course.
Italiannies’ Caesar Salad @ RM19.90, served with toasted croutons. It didn’t look appealing because of the salad’s pale looking color but luckily it still tasted pretty good, albeit the rather salty dressing.
Lamb Shank @ RM39.90, surprisingly labeled as a NEW! dish in the menu. Hmm… and I thought Italiannies had Lamb Shank all the while. It was top notch with nice, meltingly tender meat bursting with flavor – highly recommended. Click here to continue reading >
